More power equals more speed no matter what wheel and tire combo you put on the cars. That is what it boils down to.
Lets do this you buy a dirt sprint car with a 360ci engine in it and I'll buy one with a 410ci engine. You can run the softist widest baddest tire you can find and I will run a narrow DT3. We will set the cars up identical and put two drivers we feel are of equal ability in them. Then we will go to any half mile and run a match race to see who wins. Then we will bet $100,000 cash and the winner takes all. Sound like a good enough test for you??

A non-wing sprint car using a DT3 tire is just as quick as one using the old softer, wider RC1?
